Web Monday is an informal, non-commercial, and completely community-driven event that aims to connect the people who are working on building the future of the internet. It started out in Cologne, Germany in late 2005 in an effort to help spread those sunny Silicon Valley vibes.

Since its inception, Web Monday has spread fast: meetings are now being held on a regular basis in 30+ cities all across Germany, in Austria, Sweden, Silicon Valley as well as on Second Life. Nurturing the local web 2.0 and internet startup scenes, Web Monday’s 100+ meetings have attracted 1,000+ repeat participants so far.
